Chapter 1253 - Once Again, They Chose Each Other (1/2)

This was the third time she entered the Civil Affairs Bureau building.

She had been 21 the first time she came, and 26 the next time she visited, and this time, she was 36 years old.

According to the statistics that measured the average lifespan of those in their country, she had already lived out half her life.

Ye Hao held her hand tightly. He hadn’t let go of her hand ever since they hopped out of the car, as though he was afraid that she would get cold feet.

She stopped when they reached the gates of the Civil Affairs Bureau and looked at the young men and women who were queueing for their turn in the main hall. There were five different lines that almost stretched to the door.

These people weren’t all here to register their marriage. The fourth and fifth queues were for those who wanted to get a divorce.

The couples, who were queueing, to register their marriage were radiant with joy and grinned from ear to ear while those who were waiting to process their divorce mostly cast their eyes downward. There were some who stared at their phones and some who stared at the floor in a daze. There were also others who looked as though they had been crying for they would dab at their eyes once in a while.

She took a deep breath and bit her lips nervously.

She resolved that this would be the last time she would step into this building.

“Let’s go, Yan Yan…” Ye Hao said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

They entered the main hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

There were many people queueing for their turn but because Ye Hao had made arrangements ahead of time, they didn’t need to queue. After they completed the registration form, a young employee politely collected their forms and 10 minutes later, a freshly printed red booklet was handed to them.

From that moment on, they were once again considered a married couple in the eyes of the law.
